List of lost COSMOS mission items

,

Sorry, I missed the joke which is easy to do after 16 years of seeing broken stuff ignored :slight_smile:

Agent name: Ammargal Detrone
Agent Level: 4
Agent Corporation: Emperor Family
Agent Faction: Amarr Empire
Region: Kador
Constellation: Araz
System: Nidupad
Beacon: Imperial Palace Complex
Mission Series: King Of The Hill (7 thru 13)

Note:
Mission series ‘King of the Hill’ is started with Agent Zach Himun located in Zimse system at Imperial Administration Complex (Beacon).

First mission from Agent Ammargal Detrone requires E.F.A. ID Card received from Agent Zach Himun for completing his last mission ‘King Of The Hill’ (6 of 13).

King of the Hill (9 of 13)

That decoder you have does not work properly on the algorithms that Lord Methros is using, we need to get components from his machines which are fitted on almost every ship he has command over. But I have a more pressing task first for you, in order for us to program the machine correctly we need an Enigma Cipher Book, it is a set of codes that will allow us to help better decode his transmissions. Find this and collect as many Encoding Matrix components as you can find while you search for it.

Once you have proven your worth I will need you to assemble the modified encoding machine for me.

Oh and you should be able to acquire the Enigma Cipher Book from some of the pirates that infest our asteroid belts. They apparently use a very similar coding system as we found in Methros’ Data Burst …"

Items needed to complete mission:

1x Enigma Cypher Book dropped by Warrior Engraver (Blood Raider NPC) and 10x Encoding Matrix Component dropped by Warrior Seeker (Blood Raider NPC) located in Asteroid Belts throughout entire Araz constellation.

Thank you for the information, and I have put a warning on the Zach Himun and Ammargal Detrone pages of the UNI-WIKI.

I didn’t really do much research on the missions from Agent Zach Himum so I don’t know if he requests items from belt NPC’s, I basically just wanted to show that his missions need to be completed first before accessing Agent Ammargal Detrone.

@DeMichael_Crimson
I understand.
I’ll let him know there’s a problem with the AmmargalDetrone mission he’s connected to.

The entire ‘King Of The Hill’ series consists of 13 different missions, Agent Zach Himum offers the first 6 missions and then basically gives players a referral (E.F.A. ID Card) to go see Agent Ammargal Detrone who offers the next 7 missions.

EDIT:
About a decade ago I completed all of the high sec and most of the low sec cosmos agents for the 4 main Factions and ran into some issues…

Basically I encountered a few agents sleeping on the job that just needed a nudge from CCP. However one agent just wouldn’t offer his mission series at all. Had another agent who wouldn’t offer the first mission in his series but did offer the second and all the other missions in his series. Lastly there was a combat mission that didn’t drop the correct amount of items.

During that time a few different Senior GM’s easily resolved most of the issues I encountered… Back then I had just wrote and added ‘The Faction Standing Repair Plan’ to Evelopedia which led me to help write / update Evelopedia pages for Career, Circle, Data, Epic Arc and Cosmos Agents, along with a walk-thru guide for the Amarr Cosmos Agents…

Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.

My dynasty ring post got flatly ignored when i submitted a support ticket. i hope that ccp listen to this because having them not work with such a time pressure on completing them sux! and i actually think they are a really good part of the game.

Information on transactions for items that are no longer reproducible. Prices for Gallente have already skyrocketed to levels that make it difficult for NewBee to execute.

Did the amarr caldari cosmos with a corp mate the are indeed broke and were even told that they are unsurported content from unhelpfull gms. While tryning to battle items that no longer spawn or are only able to be got right after down time and only spawn once a day not good if you cant be on at that time .

Long time no see.

Various suggestions were made, but the CCP response that “we can’t do that” is still not satisfactory, although it seemed to me that this problem could be solved by readjusting the settings of the belt rat before the Triglavian raid. Is the person in charge of changing the settings no longer registered with CCP?

There were many candidates at CSM17 who said they would urge CCP to put more emphasis on the New Eden story. I hope the successful candidate will pay attention to this issue as well.

Hey there. I submitted a change last week which fixes the issue of regular NPCs spawning instead of COSMOS NPCs in the COSMOS constellations. This should be testable on SISI now if you’re interested, and it should make it into our mid August release.

@CCP_Kestrel as you mentioned it… Any chance you can share what content changes will be included within the mid August update? FW revamp I’m aware of, but it’s not really content I enjoy, keen to understand what’s coming in terms of null sec fixes / systems / content particularly around how you intend to fix scarcity, indy and BRM.

FW and story arcs are nice for some, but rather niche. Can’t imagine many people want a story arc in an MMO, we’re all competitive types that install addons in our games to auto skip quest text, story arc is the last form of pve we need!

Don’t make the same mistake James Ohlen made when designing SWTOR pve.

indy is good now. It takes time for people to realise that they need to mine resources other than the ones they are used to. For example, stop mine munmats and switch to gas.

Cap indy is bottlenecked by WH gas so that isn’t quite right and all the while cap indy hasn’t picked back up, the considerable amount of ore cap indy takes out of the game isn’t happening meaning the value for ore miners is low.

Game was demonstrably better 3-4 years ago.

@CCP_Kestrel
Thank you @CCP_Kestrel, We have confirmed that the COSMOS belt rat in Gallente works fine. We will check on the COSMOS belt rats in the other three countries in due course.

@DeMichael_Crimson
Your information on the COSMOS mission helped me a lot. I really appreciate it.

@Brisc_Rubal
Thanks for the report on this issue and the great jokes. I hope your last CSM will be fruitful.

Thank you, the community, Brisc and other CSM members for finally getting this sorted. I am stunned that anything happened at all, when I think of all the other deserving fixes needed. I guess they needed to start somewhere - or COSMOS is getting some sort of legitimacy in the new NPE story arc’s?

This won’t be popular opinion, but why not just delete this crap for good?

@CCP_Kestrel
Here is the feedback from the test server.

We have now confirmed that there are COSMOS NPCs in all four major countries and that all items listed can be obtained, but there is one puzzling point.

In the COSMOC asteroid belt in Minmatar, we have obtained a large quantity of “Recruitment Center Data Log” used by COSMOS in Gallente. This is puzzling because this item can be obtained and missioned by COSMOS in Gallente without any problems.

We are not sure what the intention of the CCP staff at the time was in setting up this drop, but would appreciate your input on this matter.

The fix that I made doesn’t change anything with the loot tables, I only restored the NPCs spawning again. As far as I can tell, this is how it’s always been.

According to Eve University this agent in the Minmatar COSMOS requires 5 of them to be turned in. So this seems intended to me.
